Mykyta Yatsenko says: ==================== Introduce kfuncs for memory reads into dynptrs From: Mykyta Yatsenko <yatsenko@meta.com> This patch adds new kfuncs that enable reading variable-length user or kernel data directly into dynptrs. These kfuncs provide a way to perform dynamically-sized reads while maintaining memory safety. Unlike existing `bpf_probe_read_{user|kernel}` APIs, which are limited to constant-sized reads, these new kfuncs allow for more flexible data access. v4 -> v5 * Fix pointers annotations, use __user where necessary, cast where needed v3 -> v4 * Added pid filtering in selftests v2 -> v3 * Add KF_TRUSTED_ARGS for kfuncs that take pointer to task_struct as an argument * Remove checks for non-NULL task, where it was not necessary * Added comments on constants used in selftests, etc. v1 -> v2 * Renaming helper functions to use "user_str" instead of "user_data_str" suffix ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250512205348.191079-1-mykyta.yatsenko5@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
